What are the best feminist pieces of literature? Essays, books, academic papers etc. Can be open ended and doesn't have to stick to particular subtopics of feminism :)

I really enjoyed Women Who Run with the Wolves. It changed how I think about my "roots" as well as self-care. If you're into SciFi, I am very impressed with how the women characters are written in The Expanse series. Very complex with basically no sexualization (and written by men).

Anything by Erica Jong or Toni Morrison, queens of feminist lit, imo! My favorite of all time: - Fear of Flying (Erica Jong) Also really special to me: - The Bluest Eye (Toni Morrison) - Beloved (Toni Morrison) - Song of Solomon (Toni Morrison) Other novels: - The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath) - The Scarlet Letter (Nathaniel Hawthorne) - The Handmaid’s Tale (Margaret Atwood) Short story: - The Story of an Hour (Kate Chopin) Children's books, but worth rereading as an adult: - Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret (Judy Blume) - Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)

A few that I just finished recently, more focused on data: - Invisible Women by Caroline Perez - Hello World by Hannah Frye - Data Feminism by Catherine D’Ignazio I recommend reading them in that order. Invisible Women delves into how our world is shaped by data omitting women and how that impacts our daily lives, Hello World is less focused on women but feminism in the sense of equality for all, and Data Feminism focuses more on intersectionality.

One of my favorite books I read in college was Black Feminist Thought by Patricia Hill Collins. It’s academic and dense but so great.

casting vote #2 for women who run with wolves! it’s all short stories so I tend to “feel” through the book by flipping through pages and seeing which one speaks to me that day - aka opens most easily or if a certain number is stuck in my head I’ll see if there’s a story starting on that page and read that one that day :)

The Yellow Wallpaper comes to mind. It’s a short story that has elements of gas lighting and postpartum depression. Eerie and creepy story but def a good piece of literature: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/theliteratureofprescription/exhibitionAssets/digitalDocs/The-Yellow-Wall-Paper.pdf

as a male i enjoyed Will to Change by Bell Hooks it helped model what a secure/healthy masculinity could look like - there is no love/connection where there is competition/domination - a foundational book for me was also intersectional so was not just white feminism - talked about race / gender / class - good book!
